A robust high-throughput screening system to assess bacterial tyrosine ammonia lyase activity in the context of tyrosine inherited metabolic disorders [PDF]
Scientific ReportsInborn errors of tyrosine metabolism result in patient’s inability to degrade tyrosine. Current treatment consists of a phenylalanine and tyrosine restricted diet and nitisinone, causing a block in the tyrosine degradation pathway.

Maize Phenylalanine Ammonia-Lyase Has Tyrosine Ammonia-Lyase Activity [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1997 Abstract A full-length cDNA encoding phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) from Zea mays L. was isolated and the coding region was expressed in Escherichia coli as a C-terminal fusion to glutathione S-transferase. After purification by glutathione-Sepharose chromatography, the glutathione S-transferase moiety was cleaved off and the ...

Molecular genetics of naringenin biosynthesis, a typical plant secondary metabolite produced by Streptomyces clavuligerus [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Some types of flavonoid intermediates seemed to be restricted to plants. Naringenin is a typical plant metabolite, that has never been reported to be produced in prokariotes.

Conformational gating in ammonia lyases [PDF]
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2019 ABSTRACTAmmonia lyases (AL) are enzymes of industrial and biomedical interest. Knowledge of AL structure-dynamics-function relationship would be instrumental for making use of the application potential of these enzymes. We investigated, using microsecond molecular dynamics, the conformational changes in the proximity of the catalytic pocket of a 3 ...
